Today, the Grande Prairie Catholic School District (GPCSD) released their re-entry plan for the fall. 

The plan includes three options: 

Option #1: Scenario 1, in school Classes resume with significantly increased health and safety measures, including daily screening, bus seating plans, physical distancing when possible, frequent hand washing, outdoor physical education, no out-of-school field trips, modified music/band programs, strict stay at home when sick requirements, and limited school visitors. 

Option #2: Home Education, a program delivered completely by you the parent. It will be your responsibility to gather information, plan, deliver and evaluate your child's progress. 

Option #3: We may also offer online schooling if there is sufficient interest, but you will need to enroll in online schooling for a five-month period (September and February). Communication with your current school will be provided and maintained, but you will not be able to participate in school-based activities. Multi grade classrooms may be a reality. 

In a letter to parents on the re-entry plan, Superintendent Karl Germann said, 

“We wish to thank all stakeholders for their continuing understanding, patience, and support throughout these challenging times. We especially thank our senior division leadership team, our school administrators, and our Board of Trustees who provided feedback and ideas to help develop this plan.  

“May the peace of Christ be with you and your family as we welcome the 2020-21 school year.”
